Mehbooba questions NC over Kashmirs political, emotional disconnect with Centre
Srinagar, Nov 02: Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president Mehbooba Mufti on Monday criticised the ruling National Conference (NC), blaming its leadership for the growing disconnect between Jammu and Kashmir and the Centre. Addressing a mega workers convention organised to mark the PDPs Foundation Day at Sher-e-Kashmir Park in Srinagar, Mehbooba questioned why Kashmiris continued to face suspicion, stating that youngsters were being harassed, Kashmiri employees removed from service and tribal communities evicted. Why does Hindustan have so much suspicion about us? Our youngsters are being beaten, Kashmiri officers are being removed from service and tribals are being evicted. This needs to be thought about, she said. Taking a swipe at the NC, Mehbooba said the party had buried the demand for autonomy after shifting from the prime ministerial to the chief ministerial system. She also blamed the NC leadership for the difficult years of militancy in Kashmir, saying that people suffered during its rule and accusing the party of using Ikhwan forces during that period. Referring to NC president Farooq Abdullahs remarks on Pakistan, Mehbooba said Kashmiris had already made their choice and stood with India. Recalling Sheikh Mohammad Abdullahs role in Jammu and Kashmirs accession to India, she said he had reposed faith in the country despite the region being Muslim-majority. She also referred to his association with former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and Mahatma Gandhi. Mehbooba said Sheikh Abdullah had brought former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee to Jammu and Kashmir to help restore peace and also referred to the construction of the Mughal Road. *PDP formed to restore J&Ks dignity* Mehbooba said the PDP was founded with the objective of restoring Jammu and Kashmirs dignity and identity, asserting that the party had never pursued a double agenda. She urged the Government of India to initiate dialogue with the people of Jammu and Kashmir, questioning how long the region could be governed through force. Referring to the developments in Delhi on October 10, she said the government should understand the anger and concerns among the people rather than attempt to project peace through coercive measures. Mehbooba also warned against attempts to alter Jammu and Kashmirs identity, saying those seeking to undermine the region would themselves face consequences(KNO)

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 2 (IANS) Actor Tiger Shroff's spokesperson has dismissed reports suggesting that the actor would make his first public appearance since the attack at a book launch event in Mumbai on November 3. According to reports, the Baaghi actor was reportedly expected to step out for his first public appearance since the attack at the launch of actor and wellness author Claudia Ciesla's book, Beyond Weight Loss: Eating, Healing & Ageing with Claudia's Concept. The event is scheduled to take place at a Mumbai hotel on November 3. However, when contacted, Tiger's spokesperson refuted the claims and called the reports baseless. The news circulating regarding Tiger Shroff making a public appearance for a book launch happening on November 3, is completely baseless. Not true at all, the spokesperson clarified. The clarification comes amid speculation about the actor's return to public appearances following the attack. The reported appearance was expected to mark a return to public engagements after a break in his professional commitments following the firing incident. Ever since the firing incident, Tiger has maintained a low profile and has not been spotted attending any public events or making media appearances. The actor has also kept away from public engagements following the incident. Last month, a firing incident was reported outside a football club near Pushpa Narsee Park in Mumbai's Juhu area on October 18. Tiger escaped unhurt, while his driver and an autorickshaw driver sustained injuries. According to reports, the three suspects allegedly involved in the shooting were arrested in Kota, Rajasthan. They were reportedly apprehended by a joint team of the Rajasthan Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF) and Kota City Police, acting on information provided by Mumbai Police. Two of the arrested men are from Haryana, while the third hails from Bihar. All three are suspected to have links with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Reports suggested that two of the accused were allegedly hired to carry out the firing, while the third was suspected of helping them escape after the incident. Several members of the film fraternity had condemned the firing incident and expressed concern over the safety of the actor and his family.
Bihar CM appeals taxpayers to surrender free power
Earlier this year, Dhurandhar The Revenge went on a rampage and collected Rs. 100 crore in a day in its opening weekend. We asked trade experts whether Ramayana can also do the same, especially on the post-Diwali holiday, on November 9? Trade veteran Taran Adarsh said, You never know. It boils down to the content and how honest they have been to Ramayana and the subject material. So, I hope they live up to those expectations. Trade analyst Atul Mohan agreed, If word of mouth clicks, then the sky is the limit. Then anything can happen and any number can be achieved. Vishek Chauhan, owner of Roopbani Cinema in Purnia, Bihar, agreed that its a possibility, Breaking Dhurandhars record is the first target. But Dhurandhar had great music; in fact, it was the biggest music in recent times. On the plus side, Ramayanas story is universally palatable, from North to South, East to West. They dont need to sell it. They just need to make it right. If the word-of-mouth lands and people say Mazaa aa gaya, you will see mayhem in cinemas. Itll be pandemonium that you wont be able to control. Everybody is a target audience, from the age of 8 to 80. Distributor and exhibitor Raj Bansal said, I knew from the start that yeh film kuch kamaal karegi. I was expecting an opening of Rs. 100 crores on day 1 since I assumed that it would release on a day after Diwali, which is a big holiday. Nevertheless, it could still touch Rs. 100 crores on November 9, the day after the festival. This figure wont be reached on the release day, however. He revealed, I have already started getting calls from people asking for tickets. This shows that people are excited to see it. At the same time, I feel that the promotion is weak. Theres nothing wrong with attempting to capture the Western market. But in the process, they should ignore their home market. The marketing should have been on par with, if not more than, what they did in the West.

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 2 (IANS) Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the Bharat Renewable Energy Summit & Expo 2026 at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi on Monday and address the gathering, the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) said. The four-day summit, scheduled to be held from November 2 to 5, will bring together global policymakers, investors, financial institutions and industry leaders to promote investment, innovation and international partnerships in the renewable energy sector. The theme of the summit is Invest. Innovate. Inspire. According to the PMO, Bharat RE 2026 will attract participants from more than 130 countries, including over 40 Ministers. It will serve as a global platform for clean energy investment, industry engagement and technology partnerships. Nine countries and regional groupings -- Australia, Denmark, the European Union, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom -- will participate as Country Partners. Thirteen states and Union Territories will also showcase their renewable energy potential, investment opportunities and manufacturing capabilities at the summit. These include Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Delhi, Gujarat, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal. The summit will be organised alongside the 9th Session of the International Solar Alliance (ISA) Assembly and the 4th International Conference on Green Hydrogen (ICGH), bringing three major clean energy platforms together. While Bharat RE will focus on investment, industry and technology partnerships across the clean energy sector, the ISA Assembly will work towards advancing international cooperation in solar energy, including finance and institutional capacity. The International Conference on Green Hydrogen, meanwhile, will focus on green hydrogen technologies, investment and large-scale deployment.

The summit will feature plenary sessions, ministerial discussions, CEO roundtables and country and state sessions.

CAT directs BSNL, LIC to settle widows pension claim
Srinagar, Nov 1:Observing that pension is not a bounty but a right of an employee, the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) in Srinagar has directed Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) and the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) to settle the superannuation pension claim of a widow and her two minor children within six weeks. A bench of Judicial Member M S Latif ordered the settlement of the claim while deciding a plea by Irfana Salam, wife of late Sheikh Muhammad Altaf, a Sub-Divisional Engineer in BSNL who died due to COVID-19 on May 16, 2021, while in service. In her plea, Irfana had sought the Tribunals intervention for the release of the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) and BSNL Superannuation Pension benefits in favour of herself and her two minor sons. The case arose after the pensionary benefits of the deceased employee remained unsettled despite a civil courts order dated September 17, 2021, wherein release of service benefits to the persons entitled to receive them was ordered under the rules and in accordance with a compromise between the parties. The Tribunal observed that BSNL and LIC had not disputed Irfanas status as the deceased employees wife or the fact that two minor children were born out of wedlock. It was also brought to the Tribunals notice that the applicant and her children had been declared dependents of the deceased through a certificate issued by the Deputy Commissioners Office, Srinagar, on February 17, 2022. The Tribunal, while emphasising the legal status of pensionary benefits, noted that pension is not a bounty but a right of an employee. Depriving the family or dependents of such benefits under service rules or an applicable scheme would violate constitutional protections, it observed. Referring to Supreme Court judgments, including Deokinandan Prasad v State of Bihar and D S Nakara v Union of India, the Tribunal reiterated that family pension must be released strictly in accordance with the governing scheme. During the proceedings, counsel appearing for BSNL and LIC expressed no objection to disposal of the matter in accordance with the applicable rules and pension scheme. The Tribunal directed BSNL and LIC to process and settle the superannuation pension claim within six weeks positively. It made clear that the official respondents would have no power to extend the stipulated period and would have to seek the Tribunals permission if an extension became necessary.

NFR opens Rangapani-Bagdogra siding line in North Bengal for regular freight operations
Digital Desk | Guwahati, Nov 1 (IANS) The Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) has commissioned the existing 6.8-km Rangapani-Bagdogra siding line under its Katihar Division for regular freight operations, paving the way for smoother goods movement and strengthening freight connectivity in the region, officials said on Sunday. Katihar Division headquarters in Katihar city in Bihar. The Rangapani-Bagdogra corridor is a vital strategic and logistical railway link located in the Siliguri region (Chicken's Neck) of Darjeeling district in North Bengal. NFRs Chief Public Relations Officer (CPRO) Kapinjal Kishore Sharma said that the long-disused line has been brought into use with minimal expenditure, making productive use of existing railway infrastructure to meet growing freight transportation requirements. With this development, trains coming from East Central Railway (ECR) and entering NFR at Forbesganj will no longer require reversal at Siliguri Junction (SGUJ), he said. Eliminating this reversal will result in substantial energy savings, avoid unnecessary detention of rolling stock and reduce the deployment of crew and shunting staff for reversal operations. Sharma said that the new operational arrangement will enable NFR to receive at least 10 trains per day from ECR at Forbesganj for onward movement to destinations beyond Barsoi. This will significantly enhance freight handling capacity and operational efficiency, while facilitating faster movement and better utilisation of rolling stock, he added. The additional freight route offers greater operational flexibility and more efficient utilisation of railway resources. According to the NFR CPRO, for traders, businesses and consumers in the region, it is expected to support more reliable transportation of goods and strengthen local supply chains. The initiative also creates scope for NFR to handle additional freight traffic and generate revenue through better utilisation of an existing asset. The conversion was carried out under the guidance of NFR General Manager Chetan Kumar Shrivastava, with coordinated efforts by Katihar Division and the other concerned departments. It reflects NFRs continued focus on improving services through teamwork and optimal utilisation of existing assets, Sharma said. The Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR), headquartered at Maligaon near Guwahati, operates across the Northeastern states as well as in seven districts of West Bengal and five districts of north Bihar.

Why His Dream Concert in Bihar Was Blocked Over Crowd Management Standoff
Digital Desk | Dehradun, Nov 1 (IANS) Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Sunday demanded that the state Congress leadership seek an apology from its senior leaders over remarks allegedly made against the people of Uttarakhand and NSA Ajit Doval, while accusing the Opposition of attempting to create unrest in the country. BJP leaders have accused Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav of allegedly describing people from Uttarakhand living in Uttar Pradesh as infiltrators. They argue that Congress is prioritising its alliance within the INDIA bloc over the dignity and respect of Uttarakhand residents. Addressing the closing ceremony of Khel Mahakumbh 2026, Dhami criticised the Congress over its political approach and alleged that the party was frustrated after losing power. The party whose leaders have a history of undermining democracy, imposing the Emergency in the country, and dismissing elected governments from time to time has now lost power, he said. The public no longer trusts them because people have witnessed their misdeeds continuously for 60 years, both in the states and at the national level. This reflects their frustration and disappointment, the Chief Minister added. Dhami also referred to an appeal by traders asking the Congress to postpone its proposed event at Ramlila Maidan until after Diwali and the festive season, arguing that the gathering could affect businesses and inconvenience the public. They were urged not to harm businesses or inconvenience people. However, they are determined to create disorder. They want to create situations similar to those in Bangladesh and Nepal and bring about regime change, he said. Referring to the protesters, Dhami alleged that they were seeking to replicate unrest witnessed in other countries. We will create situations such as in France, and the violence that persists in European nations, he said, referring to the remarks made by the protesters. Invoking former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Dhami said, I am reminded of Atal jis wordswhen Congress is in power, they become dangerous for the people of the nation; when they are not in power, they become dangerous for the nation. He alleged that the Congress was provoking people to create situations similar to those in Nepal and Bangladesh. They are badmouthing NSA Ajit Doval, who is Uttarakhands son. Akhilesh Yadav is using words like infiltrator for people of Uttarakhand. Uttarakhand Congress should answer whether they support the comments made by him. If you dont support their comments, then you should speak up, CM Dhami said. The Chief Minister urged the state Congress leadership to clarify its position on the remarks made by Yadav and other Opposition leaders. If you dont agree with what they said, and respect Uttarakhand and its roots, then you should speak up, he said.

We will find out Gyanesh Kumar even if he hides underground, asserts Congress chief Kharge
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 1 (IANS) Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Sunday launched a scathing attack on Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, saying that the citizens will find him even if he ries to hide underground. Kharge made the remarks while speaking at the INDIA bloc's 'Dilli Chalo' rally, held to demand the resignation of the CEC over alleged electoral irregularities, at the Ramlila Maidan here. Addressing a gathering, the Congress chief called it a historic meeting. He accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah of attempting to snatch the votes of the youth, women, and minorities. We have gathered here to ensure the resignation of Gyanesh Kumar. We won't settle down until he resigns and will keep on fighting, he said while accusing the Prime Minister and Home Minister of attempting to protect the CEC. Even if he tries to hide underground, we will bring him out from there. Our youth and women possess that strength, the Congress chief remarked. Directly addressing PM Modi, Kharge said: Don't be under the assumption that all work is done by your police. We are not going to be afraid of ED, CBI and other government agencies used by you; instead, all of us at INDIA bloc will keep on fighting. He further alleged: Prime Minister Modi is attempting to create divisions among the public and snatch their votes. He himself chooses who will vote for him rather than being elected by the people.' Whether it is the Central government or governments of Maharashtra, Bihar or UP, all these came to power by vote theft, and we will drive out these thieves, he remarked. The democracy will be saved only after PM Modi is removed from power. So, I will only say 'Modi ko hatao, Loktantra Bachao', Kharge added. Earlier on Sunday, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor said the INDIA bloc's protest was about safeguarding the constitutional rights of citizens and not about any political party, as Opposition leaders gathered at the Ramlila Maidan to protest against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. This is not about parties, this is not about Congress, this is about the very simple message that the constitutional rights of the Indian people should not be taken away by the Election Commission. What they did was simply wrong; you cannot cut 130 million voters. This is not acceptable; what we need is an absolutely clean election register, Tharoor said while on his way to the rally. We are trying to safeguard the constitutional rights of the people of the country, he added.
Fragmented thought a new trend in politics, says JD-U's Neeraj Kumar on Independent MLCs joining BJP
Digital Desk | Patna, Nov 1 (IANS) In what signals growing unease in the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) alliance in Bihar, JD-U spokesperson Neeraj Kumar said the move of two newly elected Independent Members of Legislative Council (MLCs) to join the ruling party shows that fragmented thought has become a new trend in politics. Hinting that the switchover post-election could be a reflection of this, he added that the Independent MLCs decision to align with the BJP was a matter of their own discretion. NDA allies BJP and JD-U had fielded four candidates each in the recently held MLC elections for eight seats in Bihar; however, the alliance could fetch just 3 seats while the rest of the Teachers and Graduates constituencies voted in favour of RJD, Independents, and newly founded Jan Suraaj Party (JSP). Neeraj Kumar, the JD-U MLC who battled the odds successfully, told scribes that the party will hold a meeting on November 5 to review the election results, while admitting that the NDAs performance was not up to the mark in elections. Asked about whether the results were a setback for the party, he remarked: Having one's body in one place, soul in another, and mind somewhere elsethis has become a new trend in politics. He mentioned that the November 5 meeting will include the party's winning and losing candidates, MLCs, election in-charges, and other relevant stakeholders. JD-U's national executive president, the state president, and other senior leaders are also likely to participate and deliberate on MLC results. He noted that the party has encountered similar situations during elections in the past and added that if an independent MLC chooses to join a political party, it is entirely a matter of their own judgment. The switchover of two newly elected Independent MLCs, Bansidhar Brajwasi and Rahul Raj, into the BJP has stirred a political row in the state, with opposition RJD accusing the ruling party of mocking the Constitution and demolishing democracy, questioning how the two members could join an outfit within days of winning a public mandate in the biennial elections. RJD Working President Tejashwi Yadav has demanded that both the newly elected MLCs should be disqualified for violating the anti-defection law. On the provisions of the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution concerning an independent member joining a political party, Neeraj Kumar said that legal experts could provide a definitive interpretation. He stated that once a formal application is received regarding this, the Council Chairman could consult legal experts and decide on the legality in accordance with constitutional procedures.

Kashmiri apple supplies fall short of Diwali demand amid fungal outbreak
Srinagar, Nov 01: Amid steady festive demand for Kashmiri apples in terminal markets across the country ahead of Diwali, supplies remain inadequate after a substantial portion of this year's crop was hit by a scab outbreak, according to growers and dealers. The demand is very good. On this occasion (Diwali), our large apples (Grade A), especially the gift pack, have a good demand, Zahoor Ahad Tantray, general secretary of Kashmir Fruit Growers and Dealers Association, said. Tantray, however, said apple supplies in fruit mandis were inadequate as scab affected the crop. This year more Grade B and Grade C apples are arriving in the mandis. This is because apple scab, whether primary or secondary scab, spread extensively this year, causing the quality to deteriorate significantly. Most of the apples...around 50 to 55 per cent or even up to 60 per cent arriving here are Grade B and C apples, which have very low demand in today's market, he said. Tantray said growers are facing trouble because production cost remains the same. Whether it is Grade A, B or C, the cost of production is identical. Yet, in terms of market return, only Grade A fetches good money. As the quality deteriorated this year, growers are worried, traders are worried, and buyers are worried, he added. Mohammad Sohail Tanveer, a dealer from Bihar, said he is satisfied with apple prices. Right now, the prices are reasonable. A wooden crate is selling for around Rs 1,300, and a cardboard carton is going for up to Rs 600. Due to Diwali, prices are good, and quality goods are arriving. Around 400 to 500 truckloads leave this market (mandi) every day, Tanveer added.

Taking to X, PM Modi said, Heartiest greetings to all the residents of Chhattisgarh on the occasion of the state's Foundation Day! This state is renowned for its tribal culture, natural wealth, and unique folk traditions. The archaeological heritage of the state has been its special identity. In the environment enriched with the folk culture here, there is a wonderful sense of belonging that attracts everyone towards it. Today, it is heartening to see that while eradicating the roots of Naxalism, our state is advancing on the path of development with even greater speed. I am confident that with the participation of my talented and hardworking family members, this state will continue to make significant contributions to the prosperity of the nation, he said. May this special occasion bring welfare to all the residents of Chhattisgarh; that is my heartfelt wish! the Prime Minister added. Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai also took to social media and extended warm greetings to the people on the occasion. In a post on X, CM Sai said, The maternal home of Lord Shri Ram, the sacred land of Mother Kaushalya, filled with tribal pride and a rich folk culture, Chhattisgarh has carved out a distinct identity on the nation's development map during its 26-year journey, transforming struggles into possibilities and possibilities into achievements. He also paid homage to former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee for his contributions in making the dream of a Chhattisgarh state come true. On this proud occasion, I fondly remember the revered 'Bharat Ratna' Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ji, whose visionary leadership and firm resolve turned the dream of a Chhattisgarh state into reality, giving new identity to our hopes and aspirations. Our good governance administration is continuously working towards realising the revered Atal Ji's dream of a 'Viksit or Samridh Chhattisgarh', the Chief Minister said. Heartiest congratulations and best wishes to all the people of the state on this proud occasion of the State Foundation Day.

Did M Kharge's Remark Backfire? Debate Grows Over Congress's Political Misstep
A political controversy surrounding Mallikarjun Kharge's remarks has triggered a fresh debate over whether the Congress inadvertently handed the BJP a powerful campaign issue. Political commentators argue that the episode shifted attention away from the Opposition's message and allowed the BJP to mount an aggressive counterattack. Questions are also being raised over the muted response from Congress workers, particularly in Bihar, where calls to defend the party chief reportedly failed to generate significant mobilisation. As the row expands beyond a state-level event into a national political issue, the focus is increasingly on whether the controversy has ended up strengthening the BJP's narrative rather than hurting it.
